Summer is here and many folks are a little wary about having fresh flowers in their homes for fear of them dying in the heat.If you feel the same way, consider one of our favorite blooming plants~ THE ORCHID

Contrary to popular belief they are very easy to care for and like to be ignored once in a good location. Their ideal surrounding is in bright light but out of direct sun, a temperature range of 66-77 degrees but can tolerate higher or lower temps.

Watering should be done once a week in the summer months. I like to use a little shot-glass size amount per plant each week. Another easy trick is to place an ice cube or two on top of the growing material and let that melt. For die hard care takers, you can remove the plant from its decorative container and drench the plant material, let it drain and then replace it back in its pot. Never let an orchid sit in water, the roots will rot.

The anniversary flowers I just received are stunning! I love the beautiful pink roses nestled in with the hydrangea. I so appreciate the thought and artistry that went into this. Just this morning I tended two little potted plants I keep in the kitchen that you created for my boys to give me for Mother’s Day years ago. I love looking at them every morning. Thank you – you bring such joy. - Marilyn

I am writing to thank you for the lovely violets in the superb turquoise planter box ! Anne and Brian LOVED the surprise! These were spot on what I had imagined. I feel so very grateful that within a phone conversation, you created exactly what I, myself, had not the imagination to create!! Many thanks for your thoughtfulness and generosity to fulfill this order- made even sweeter with the Theo chocolates.- Karen Reisenauer

Thank you for always creating such beautiful arrangements. My good friend just sent us a lovely arrangement and she is now a Juniper customer because of the beautiful 40th birthday arrangement you created for her last year for me! The world is a good place when good people can come together!- Shirley Low
